We're a little late to the party with this one--but it's entirely reasonable. As is, I made Key Lime Pie from a jar of Keylime Chowder, and since I was on a timer, I just put the lime in the chowder first thing in the morning (unless I wanted to be kept on the clock). I got about a 1/3rd finished pie and in the evening, when everyone was eating dinner, I put the tricuits in the freezer for another 10 minutes (the freezer was still cold) to thaw the limes. It was so delicious, I made two batches for tomorrow's pies! These were THE BEST pies I've made from a single recipe. I will DEFINITELY be making this again. Oh, and the lemon zest, I added about 1 - 1/4 tsp. Of Fresh Lemon Juice. It made the pie even more delicious!
